As an example of an enthusiast's approach to the Internet, this site is most impressive. Simon has put together some excellent work on Suffolk Churches, and there are some great, detailed pictures of St Mary's, Glemsford along with good architectural notes. Well worth the visit.
This site is a major piece of research which will fascinate villagers, visitors and researchers alike:
It's nice to know that some people maintain the best traditions of youth work in this area. I am delighted to carry this link:
Nothing stands still. The Cock Inn, on Egremont Street, has undergone some changes lately, and is now offering Bed and Breakfast
Just across in Essex is Foxearth.
This new website is superb.
Hundon is a village between Clare and Haverhill.
Its web site is well worth a visit, as is the village.
Visit the Haverhill website
Clare also has pretensions to be a town. It is well worth a visit`.
Glemsford has not a single antique shop: Long Melford has plenty.
It's also quite pretty
The Swan Inn in Long Melford is an excellent example of the traditonal pub.
Its new proprietors deserve every success and all our support in their venture.
Lavenham is an amazingly attractive, well-preserved and cared for village.
There are, of course, plenty of decent pubs around. Stansfield is a pleasant village, and The Compasses is a lovely pub
This is a Suffolk Search friendly site

My site's linked to the Ipswich "Evening Star" site: lots of useful Suffolk stuff.
Finally: a few sites which reflect my own enthusiasms and idiosyncrasies.
"Tam Lin" is a very fine example of
British folk song. This site is dedicated solely to the magic knight.
Roy Harper is, in my opinion, the very best of all English singer/songwriters. There are several sites dedicated to him, but start here.

What goes around ...
tends to get dizzy.I am of the age when reunions and nostalgia start to take over. The question of the day is more often "I wonder whatever happened to ..." rather than "How about it?"
In my youth, when we changed the world, there was a magic band from Wimbledon called White Unicorn (but I thought Unicorns were white by definition) with whom I moved and grooved and carried a few hundredweight of PA equipment and Marshall 200s. They were good times, especially the Fairport gig which was my last.
Weeks of searching have helped uncover the mystery as to what happened at least one of them.
Time to go to the Movies. Thanks Jon.
And the beat goes on ...
Further exploration and coincidence, has put me back in touch with some very
talented people I used to know and has led me to this site.
This site, in its utter simplicity, is one of the best I've found.
It should humble us all.
